[db-wg] New Version of the RIPE Database Documentation is Available

This looks great!

I just have one small question, why did you choose to have it on
apps.db.ripe.net instead of some more general RIPE (NCC) services
documentation thing to have it all in one place?
I think it was RIS or Atlas that I saw that have this same style of
docs so to me it would make some sense to collect it all in one easy
to find place.

It is not like it matters much and this is still very good but I just
know that earlier I have sometimes had a bit of a difficult time
navigating to the documentation for various RIPE (NCC) services.

Regardless, great job DB team!
